хоготпуль

Ket

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Ketic *pʰogotpʰɯl (outmarriage group), derived from Proto-Ketic *pʰo (all in unison) + Proto-Yeniseian *ad (bone) + Proto-Yeniseian *pʰɯl (growth, accumulation).[1] Alternatively, analyzable as a compound word consisting of *хо- (“all in unison”, extinct formant) + Ket аʼт (aˀd, bone) + -хыль (“growth, accumulation”, only found in compounds), the first formant of which is also found in the cognate Ket хөт (hōt, small fry; school of immature fish).

The compound word formant Ket аʼт (aˀd, bone), in this context, refers to relatives and lineages, a semantic field shared by the southern neighbours of Kets, the Turks and the Mongols, according to CHYD.
